For me - looking at the photos, I don't think the seams are pointing anywhere, however, you have to be comfortable in the skirt. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing your reading. ggMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04301526396026815132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20350253.post-39184969749318646492011-10-22T08:18:44.649-04:002011-10-22T08:18:44.649-04:00I've enjoyed seeing your road to a nice workin...I've enjoyed seeing your road to a nice working wardrobe. I think the skirt with the waist alteration that you talked about will make it a wonderfully addition to your wardrobe. It looks marvelous. Seeing all these wonderful things almost makes me want to go back to work.

You're too busy at work to be standing still. I love the detail and I think once you get the hip fitting issue out of the way it will be a little swingy back there.kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13468763091074811797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20350253.post-42907921519322548852011-10-21T20:57:06.029-04:002011-10-21T20:57:06.029-04:00I always love it when I read a book that really ma...I always love it when I read a book that really makes me think!<br />As important as sewing and getting together a work wardrobe is, it's good to take some time to read.<br /><br />I am glad that you like your new job.
